People Band - 1968
Review by Peter Reid
The album 1968 by People Band is a masterpiece of experimental jazz and improvisation. The band, composed of some of the most talented musicians of the time, delivers a powerful and dynamic performance that captures the essence of the era.
From the opening track, "Song for My Father," to the closing notes of "Free Form," the album takes listeners on a journey through a range of moods and emotions. The musicians' improvisations are skillfully woven together, creating a cohesive and engaging listening experience.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Flute Song," which features a mesmerizing flute solo by Brian Smith. The haunting melody is complemented by the band's intricate rhythms and harmonies, resulting in a truly captivating performance.
